Great lake house with plenty of space. Easy walk to dock. Really quiet but not far to paddle out to main lake. Very comfortable. Screened porch is awesome at night. About 20 min drive to main town and stores. Would stay again.

Loved the screened in porch! Dock was nice & roomy. We had a great weekend! Only negative they don’t have garbage pickup you have to take your garbage with you. We will diffidently stay there again.

Friends Forever

We had a wonderful and very peaceful time! The property is very private and quiet. The screened porch was wonderful and where we spent most of our time playing games and relaxing. The dock was great and the water looked lovely for swimming. We didn't see any boats come in the cove so it was very safe for swimming. The owner was wonderful to work with and got back to me very quickly. Overall a great experience and we would rent again.

Cute Lakeside Cabin

A good time was had by all at this cute rustic cabin with folk art accents. The cabin is very well appointed. Nothing at all was missing. The walk to the lake is down a short and gently sloped path. The cove is very quiet. Peaceful. No sounds but birds and insects. No boat traffic. The dock is top notch - perfect for docking your boat or Sea Doo or an early morning swim. The host was very responsive and oh so gracious.

We had a great trip and excellent time on the lake. The walk to the dock was easy, and the dock itself is roomy enough for an evening swimming. The screened porch was great, and the home was well furnished and fit 5 of us plus our dogs well.

Great lakefront cottage on Lake Hartwell

Highly recommend this cute and comfortable, roomy house for a family...or two. Great bunk room for the kids, spacious kitchen and eating areas and a very large screened porch with tree-lined view of the cove. Decór was charming, accented with local folk art and antiques. The quiet cove, boat dock with kayak for our use, and proximity to Hartwell Marina for pontoon rental for the day worked out great. Owners were very responsive and accommodating. We would love to return.

Perfect Vacation Spot

Wow! The lake house was just wonderful. Plenty of room to spread out. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were able to be closed off for extra privacy, or late risers who wanted to sleep in. House was very clean. Nice, large screened in porch was good to have for dining or just hanging out. Lots of shade trees on the property. Great A/C and large capacity washer / dryer worked well. House was stocked with all the amenities needed. Our favorite part was the beautiful double-slip dock in a deep water cove, which made a great swimming/kayaking area. Great price for what you get! Such a nice, quiet, dog-friendly area. Owner was very responsive. The only downside is that there is no garbage pickup, so you have to take your trash to the dump in Hartwell. It was a bit of a hassle, especially when the bag broke in our truck and we had to clean out the whole back section. Yukky mess! But not a deal breaker!If you have a large boat/ trailer combination of 25-30 feet in length, do not plan to pull down to the house! There is not enough room to turn around. If you need to get your boat / trailer and car down to the house, I would recommend backing down the driveway. We will rent this wonderful lake house again!!! So much fun!!!

Perfect spot on the lake!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location is perfect for a quick trip to Hartwell. The dock is amazing and can't wait to visit again in warmer months. The cottage is perfect for a large family or two couples traveling with kids. The bedrooms at opposite ends of the house with the bunkbeds in the middle is great for privacy. We loved the screened in porch, large kitchen area and comfy living space. We even met the neighborhood pet deer, Bucky, on our first night. The kids were excited to see him. We'll definitely be back.

Perfect Place to Unplug and Recharge

This lake-side property is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. The home is well-stocked with essential items and extras. The mattresses are very comfortable and the screened porch allows for a priceless view of the lake . The location is convenient to Hartwell and Anderson, which filled our quest for shop-therapy. And, Buddy, the neighborhood, friendly deer, strolled up for some attention, which was one of the many highlights of the stay. We highly recommend the home and Stephanie is an excellent host.

Family Thanksgiving

House was very clean with a comfortable floor plan. I thought house was nicer than photos. We didn’t take advantage of all the amenities because of the time of year but they were available and nice. Location on the water was secluded but not isolated. Not far to the town of Hartwell and shopping. Absolutely no complaints. A grand time was had by all. Would definitely rent again. We saw Bucky or his kinfolk!

Nice

We had a fun time w/our dogs on the dock and swimming. One day we rented a boat for the day to explore the lake! Saw Bucky the young deer plus other deer hang around the house. I think they liked us! Lol The last evening we spent time on the dock watching wildlife arrive to the waters edge for a drink. We watched 2 spotted twin fawns for an hour across the water on the other side of the lake, a heron plus turtles enjoy their time while the sun set..

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie McCaa

Host profile image
We bought this cabin so that our little girls would have an escape from the city to experience nature and the country. After purchasing the house, we quickly renovated it, adding the living room and master bedroom so that we could have friends and family stay with us.

We hope that you will enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Lake Hartwell has the unique combination of easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas and a quiet, remote location. Even on major holidays, such as July 4th, you feel like the lake is your private playground since there are so few people!

What makes this property unique

We love our quiet cove! It's a no-wake zone so there is almost zero jetski or boat traffic near our dock so kids can swim and play.

The gently graded and short walk from our house to our dock makes the transport of coolers, towels and supplies an easy task.

Our lot is wooded so you have lots of privacy.

We renovated and decorated our home for a lakeside feel with fishing prints and country antiques. We love to cook so our newly renovated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a memorable meal!

The wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy getaway in the Fall and Winter as well.
